I am working on installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 "Potato" - Official powerpc Binary-1 CD on a new world G4. As far as I can tell, I have the base system installed correctly and used mkofboot to configure the booting properly. I am unable to get the system to do an initial boot so I can finish the package installation.
It begins booting, and gets as far as finding the USB keyboard and mouse and then it just hangs. If I unplug the keyboard and mouse, then it gets as far as: Freeing unused kernel memory: 168k init 28k prep It seems that it is having problems with the next step whatever that is. I installed the stock base system, with no additional kernel modules. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Doug
